The Scandinavian Star Disaster
🕑 Added 2021-07-20 10:15:59 +0000 UTCWhenever I'm researching an incident like this, the best possible source is almost always the official government report. In this case, I was incredibly fortunate to find that the report had been translated into English.
In case you'd like to look it over, here's a link to the report as a PDF. It tells the story of the incident in a level of technical detail that I could never match.
Of course, there have been several investigations over the years into what happened on board the Scandinavian Star. Once you're read the official government report, I'd also recommend this one, which was carried out by a fire protection agency, and gives some more detail on the suspicious elements of the fire.
